Landmines In Pakistan Ruin Lives, Leave Hundreds Dead

PESHAWAR, 4 April 2008 (IRIN) - Palvasha Ahmed and her two younger sisters know all too well the risks posed by landmines.

"Our cousin, Maryum Ahmed, 19, was injured by a landmine nearly a year ago in her village in South Waziristan. She lost her right foot and now goes around on a crutch. No one will marry her," the 17-year old said in Peshawar, the provincial capital of Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP).
